[GUIDE] Enable EIS on videos

Hello,
I found that by adding the following lines below in build.prop, the EIS becomes functional in recording videos using the apk mod of the Nexus 5 camera.
Add the following lines;
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
persist.camera.eis.enable=1
persist.camera.is_mode=4
Unfortunately it only works in this camera application and autofocus does not work.
Download the apk on original thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/mod-google-camera-t3279714
It might work better on other roms and Nougat, I'm currently at smalleui 13.1 and the best camera app I've found so far was the Moto Z camera with the professional mode (sadly no EIS but it have autofocus working on video)
Edit: Works too on Footej Camera!
Edit²: I installed for the first time a nougat rom (RR) and EIS works in video on all app
Edit³: I'm just an Network engineer, i don't have any programming skills, don't ask for new features
Can you also post the link for the Moto Z camera that you use?

Sorry, i forgot to tell you that you must change on build.prop "ro.product.device"
(moto g4)
ro.product.device=athene
(moto z)
ro.product.device=griffin
On smalleui 13.1 all settings of professional mode works, on nougat (RR) only a few

The line "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1" already enables it

Install Camera X from https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/themes-apps/mod-google-camera-t3279714?nocache=1 to use EIS on EUI.

(probably off topic sorry)
But say, can you enable 1080p 60fps recording with build prop modified and also can you increase the shutter time to some 30 sec. So we can photograph the night starry sky?
Isk anythi g about build. Prop never touched it.. Just wonder about the possibilities
Thanks for the eis.. Its awesome :laugh:

Yes, EIS only works if you enable camera api2 and EIS line on build prop.
Make sure to change to read-only build.prop or else bootloop.

To use the gcam from celsoazevedo you must activate cam2 api, as in stock doesnt have it activated. Uninstall that camera or activate camera2 api, but you must be rooted

HDR , slow motion and other option disappeared from MotoCam on stock 7.0

Hi everyone , today while using camera i noticed hdr option is missing along with slow motion and iso & shutter speed option from the pro mode in Moto camera . Even front camera is not opening. However in 3rd party camera apps front camera open but hdr is still missing. I am using modified stock 7.0 with camera2api enabled , defcomg chromatix mod and 32 bit gcam by savitar. How to fix moto cam as i use it regularly ? Thanks all in advance
This is happen bcuz of enable cam2api idk why maybe the Moto cam app dosen't compatible with camera 2 so if you want these options back you have to disable cam2api. Same of you I tried so many times to find out what happened with camera and discover that enable cam2api make this bug happened.
The stock camera app relies on the phone's default camera api. Enabling camera2 api breaks it.

There is a quirk on stock nougat where permissions get messed up after editing a system file. Install root browser, navigate to system, find the build.prop file and in properties set the permission to -rw-r--r-- (644) like in the attached screenshot. Then reboot.
Theres a modded Motocam in the g5+ camera dev group. Also, Motocam with [email protected] enabled works flawlessly on stock oreo.

[MI A2/6X] Indian /Global variants camera issue fixed for MIUI 10

Hy everyone this camera fix doesn't work anymore its because the Miui android pie build doesn't need any driver override. If you are looking for the camera fix please update to latest MIUI eu rom no matter if its stable or beta camera works in almost all android pie build. I have discontinued this thread and not going post any mod here
In case you are getting boot loop after flashing latest miui android pie rom just flash hex kernel and reboot

Thanks a lot bro, was waiting for this fix. Lemme ask, can't we just edit the XML file and build.prop in stock to that of values you've provided without flashing the zip file? Yet to try. Also, would it work for custom roms like RR etc for A2 Converted Indian variant?

No in that case camera will not work because mi 6x's chines rom does not contain Indian versions camera libs. And in build camera is not optimized for the indian version.
Another request make a similar threat on app section so that users can easily find the mod.

Hi, if you're using stock android one rom then you can add new features to the camera using that XML file. No need to touch that build.prop just place that jasmine_sprout.xml in system/etc/device_features/ if this folder doesn't exist then create it and place the xml file there. If you' have converted to MIUI then you have to flash the zip file and need to edit build.prop. I am not sure about it but it might work for mi 6x custom ROMs which can fix the camera issue for Indian variant of mi A2. Try this zip file in MIUI and let me know if it is working or not. I had thoroughly tested everything before uploading this file. I hope it helps......
I am just thinking to move this thread in another sec but anyway still people can find this thread here in Guide/news/discussion section

I know MIUI camera lags try stock mi a2 camera ports. I haven't tried it in weekly build's but still its just the same as stable build camera freezes sometime while clicking picture outdoor. There are some unsupported camera drivers which exist and those drivers are not in use by miui camera. So if we delete the useless camera drivers it should work normally.
